The Heart of Worship
Commentators like John Calvin note that while the people may have been performing rituals, God considered them as nothing. He says, "You have not brought me...sacrifices," because their offerings were hollow, lacking genuine faith, obedience, and justice. This is a timeless reminder that God desires a sincere heart and a righteous life, not just the outward motions of worship.
